A Midnight Song I (A Sonnet) Poem by Rafael Yaw Kumi

A Midnight Song I (A Sonnet)



Hither dawns dusk and in my heart a song asks to be sung
How I curl up and shudder at her lyrics so terrible!
A song fills the emptiness in my heart and leaves wandering in my thoughts an unanswered riddle
A forceful ballad forces my eyes open and compels my soul to sing
The eternal song of wanton love and unconsummated passion
A resolute chant that seeks at midday to possess maidens by their dangling pearls or their supple curves
A persistent oratorio of feigned love and adventurous caress their demanding breasts serve
The raging tempest draws her into my world of fantasy
A luring invitation to abandon reason and latch on to feverish ecstasy
She runs from the clutches of the frigid winds to embrace the virility of the fireplace
The heavens serenade us with sweet song and marvellous melodies
When the flames of two fires lick each other to rage in unison
We awaken in our hearts infernos of passion long abandoned
Our spirits seek new adventure when we are left contented and begging for yet another midnight song
